International City Theatre presents Red, the fiery and fiercely funny Tony, Drama Desk and Drama League Award winner for Best Play by John Logan. When abstract expressionist and celebrated bad boy of the art world Mark Rothko lands a commission to create a definitive group of murals for an exclusive restaurant, he hires an assistant β and what takes place between them is a visceral experience that spills off the stage and will forever change the way you see the color red.

Aug. 23 β Sept 15; International City Theatre, Long Beach Performing Arts Center, 300 East Ocean Blvd., Long Beach CA 90802; $29-$45; 562-436-4610; www.InternationalCityTheatre.com
